Search for body of little Joe continues as parents head to court


Parents will be in court tomorrow for preliminary hearings.

I've been so hoping little Joe could be found in time for those hearings :-(

If it really happened the way JD said in his confessions, then there should be forensic traces. He's not helping himself by not allowing the family to have answers and lay their little guy to rest properly and respectfully.

Where is little Joe Clyde? My heart hurts. Hoping he is found soon.

Joe Daniels did not initially offer detectives any tips as to where the body was, though that has changed in recent weeks, although none of the locations he's offered have "panned out," investigators say. A huge search May 19 utilizing hundreds of volunteers yielded no clues.

Joe Clyde's Parents To Appear In Court

The latest search for a Dickson County boy allegedly killed by his parents ended just hours before the couple is due in court.

Search and rescue teams said they will not give up on finding Joe Clyde Daniels.

Dave Rader said, "I think that we'll never stop looking."

Over the weekend dozens of law enforcement experts looked for Little Joe near Tennessee City.

Rader said, "We kind of went in and around the 3.5 mile around the house to we expanded it. I think the last check that we had was about 20 miles."
...
Rader said, "I'm very surprised, I mean I just don't understand how one or two people know what a thousand can't find. It's very frustrating."

People are talking about organizing a "silent protest" during Monday's court hearings and will meet at the court house at 8 am. The hearings are scheduled for 9 am.

There is no audio for me. Anyone else?

 

[Kankan]

Never mind! lol. I see the audio is dropped until proceedings begin. It’s a Monday hahaha

 

[Niner]

You would think this detective would have review the tape BEFORE his testimony today.... re live stream!

 

[Niner]

I got cut off near the end of live stream - did they say when the next court hearing might be??

TIA!

 

[razzledazzle]

So sad for those outside the courthouse...

Also, the mom still seemed angry, of course she thought she might get out today. The dad seemed, idk, resigned to his fate, I guess. JMO IMO

TBI Agent Joey Boyd has taken the stand. He’s the lead case agent. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Boyd said Joseph Daniels agreed to a polygraph but failed the test. A 5-6 hour interview followed. That’s when Joseph reportedly admitted to beating his son to death with his fist multiple times. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Boyd said Joseph gave a location that day but officials couldn’t find a body. Another interview the next day was consistent with the admission of murder.

Matthew Torres on Twitter

The agent is reading a written statement from Joseph Daniels saying Baby Joe had peed on the floor. When he started to laugh, the father reportedly beat him. Baby Joe ran out of the house, Joseph got him back in and continued to beat him until he died, according to Boyd. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Boyd said Joseph changed his story on where he dumped he body. At first it was on a field, then in a pond, and then over a bridge. Joseph gave approximately 6 or 7 places, at least one in Hickman County, but no body was found. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Agent said Joseph didn’t want to reveal the location of the body because he didn’t want people to see what he had done to his son. @NC5

TIA!

No date given that I heard, just when the next Grand Jury convenes.

 

[HayLouise]

Boyd said Krystal heard a loud scream described as a “painful scream” and it suddenly stopped. She walked out of bedroom to see Joe Clyde on the floor w/ his father over him w/ a closed fist. Boyd said she then went back to sleep and lied to officials about what happened. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Evidence was collected including clothes, house items like knives, fragments of carpet, and house flooring. Tests found there was no evidence of blood in the house. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Agent Boyd is questioning the blood found on Joseph’s clothes, since test results have not come back. He’s also questioning if Krystal and even his Baby Joe’s 8 year old brother were ever considered as suspects. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Public defender bringing up a relative’s account of an argument between Joseph and Krystal the day before about her infidelity. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Public defender argues if Krystal could’ve been the one who killed Baby Joe. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Public defender now arguing and stressing about the lack of physical evidence. Agent says they have statements from the parents and blood found on clothes and vehicle, although blood tests have not come back. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

 

[HayLouise]

Defense for Krystal Daniels is now up. Agent says she never made an attempt to get to Joe Clyde after being beaten to death because Joseph made threats to her that he would kill her if she told anyone. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Agent saying he’s heard reports of abuse from both Joseph and Krystal. Her defense is bringing up the abuse argument. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

He’s heard he punched holes in the wall so he “would not hit her.”

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Krystal’s defense hammering the point that there is no evidence that she actually caused the abuse to her son. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Boyd says Krystal didn’t tell the truth because she was afraid of her father-in-law. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Agent Boyd says that Joseph beat Baby Joe outside the home before taking him back inside and beat him to death with a closed fist. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Boyd said anyone would’ve fought to get to their child. But defense for Krystal brought up again she felt threatened. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Krystal’s defense says based on evidence from the state that it seems apparent that there is no evidence to support her child neglect or endangerment charge. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

 

[HayLouise]

Public defender Timothy Potter asked judge to dismiss Krystal’s charge.

Matthew Torres on Twitter

The state fights back. “She failed to do anything to protect her five-year-old son, she went back to bed!” @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

JUST IN: Joseph Daniels charge will stay. His case is bound over to the grand jury. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

BREAKING: Charge for Krystal Daniels stands. Her case is heading to the grand jury. Her public defender did file a motion to reduce her $1M bond. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter

Public defender fighting for judge to reduce Krystal Daniels bond to $50K instead of a million. @NC5

Matthew Torres on Twitter
